Identification of Filovirus Entry Inhibitors from Marine Fungus-Derived Indole Alkaloids [PDF]
Marine DrugsFiloviruses, mainly consisting of the two genera of Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus, are enveloped negative-strand RNA viruses that can infect humans to cause severe hemorrhagic fevers and outbreaks with high mortality rates.

Mouse Models for Filovirus Infections [PDF]
Viruses, 2012 The filoviruses marburg- and ebolaviruses can cause severe hemorrhagic fever (HF) in humans and nonhuman primates. Because many cases have occurred in geographical areas lacking a medical research infrastructure, most studies of the pathogenesis of filoviral HF, and all efforts to develop drugs and vaccines, have been carried out in biocontainment ...

, 2013 A number of advances in recent years have significantly furthered our understanding of filovirus attachment and cellular tropism. For example, several cell-surface molecules have been identified as attachment factors with the potential to facilitate the in vivo targeting of particular cell types such as macrophages and hepatic cells.

Rational design of next-generation filovirus vaccines combining glycoprotein stabilization and nanoparticle display with glycan modification [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsFiloviruses pose a significant threat to human health due to frequent outbreaks and high mortality. Although two vector-based vaccines are available for Ebola virus, a broadly protective filovirus vaccine remains elusive.

Standardization of the Filovirus Plaque Assay for Use in Preclinical Studies [PDF]
Viruses, 2012 The filovirus plaque assay serves as the assay of choice to measure infectious virus in a cell culture, blood, or homogenized tissue sample. It has been in use for more than 30 years and is the generally accepted assay used to titrate virus in samples ...

Correlates of Immunity to Filovirus Infection
Viruses, 2011 Filoviruses can cause severe, often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans. Recent advances in vaccine and therapeutic drug development have provided encouraging data concerning treatment of these infections.
